| THE BEST MUSICAL. EVER. YOU'VE GOT TO GET THIS SHOW, AND NOW YOU CAN...FOR LESS!* *Less Than Last Year If You're Paid in Canadian Dollars | |
I believe that calling 'A Chorus Line' the 'Best Musical Ever!' is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. And I was telling that to the guy from whom I am purchased the Brooklyn Bridge.
Better than 'Camelot' - about love and honor. Who cares about love and honor? Or 'West Side Story.' Love. Honor. What was that profound and deeply moving song by the J. Geils Band, 'Love Stinks!' And Tina Turner's 'What's Love Got To Do With It?' 'A Chorus Line' explores the timeless quest to become rich and famous, to become a star and develop your own following of Paparazzi who will love you when you break their cameras or emerge half naked from a limo. Screw art - as Frank Zappa put it, 'We're Only In It For The Money.'
Of course, 'Star Trek - The Musical,' if it was produced, might actually edge out 'Chorus Line,' depending on the whether Leonard Nimoy reprises the role of Spock and sings, or they get Leonard Cohen to do it - as long as it's a Jewish Canadian from Montreal (who better to play an alien who thinks too much than a brooding Jew from Montreal?) and whether Shatner loses 30 pounds to come to the great white way as an older, but still virile, Captain Kirk. And of course if they get Beyonce to play Uhura, and bring in Johnny Depp, Kiera Knightly, and Orlando Bloom as Jack Sparrow, Elizabeth Swann, and Will Turner - wait that's Pirates of the Caribbean.
'Moby Dick, Rehearsed' was great. I saw it off-off-Broadway - so far off it was practically the East River. Based on the fact that Orsen Wells wrote it, I expected a dark story that probes arrogance, obsession, and stubborness to the point of foolishness, and was not disappointed. 'Course I also get that reading the NY Times about Pres. Bush and the War in Iraq. My wife and daughter, on the other hand, who like singing, dancing, costumes, and all that fluffy crap were less enthusiastic. But they don't like reading the NY Times.

They liked 'Cats' which I found idiotic. No plot. No characters. Nothing but people with silly make-up.
A Chorus Line, 'The Best Musical. Ever.' is worth the $66 bucks, plus $10 service charge and $2.50 additional service charge, and $9.00 for a 1 liter bottle of tap water. Today $90 is the new $20. Eespecially if you have Euros, British Pounds, or Canadian Dollars.
A Chorus Line. The Best Musical. Ever. SERIOUSLY! NO KIDDING!
